Cooks Confectionery2018 Company Profile

It all started in 1985…As a small local producer of Fudges, Sticks and Boiled lollies, demand steadily grew in tough times leading to a relocation in 1994. A decade later, the substitution of boiled sweets to Toffee’s brought about the demand for Cooks current site, a brand new purpose built factory to be built. Demand and growth continued with expansion into the adjoining site in 2014 bringing with it chocolate manufacture and production.

With a varied range of capabilities and packaging options – Cooks is able to service your specialty product needs.
